Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Processor N97, manufactured using the 10 nm process, is based on the efficient Alder Lake N architecture. This chip is designed to provide a solid foundation for everyday computing tasks. One of its greatest strengths lies in its remarkable energy efficiency. This allows manufacturers to create fanless systems.

Such devices benefit from low noise and long battery life. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs (Alder Lake) is more than sufficient for media playback. It also handles simple graphical requirements and basic applications effortlessly. The processor provides the necessary performance for productive work in the office or comfortable web browsing.

We were surprised at how well it still performs in many scenarios today. In Cinebench 2024, the Intel Processor N97 achieved a respectable 63 points in the single-core test. 202 points are recorded for multi-core performance. With 4 MB Level 2 Cache and 6 MB Level 3 Cache, it offers a balanced configuration.

It remains a reliable choice for slim, energy-saving systems and basic applications.
  • High energy efficiency
  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs
  • Reliable for everyday applications
  • Ideal for compact, fanless systems
